Annie comes to Manchester Opera House for two weeks from September 15 to 26, starring Craig Revel Horwood and Lesley Joseph as Miss Hannigan.

Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, brave young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage. Determined to find her real parents, her luck changes when she is chosen to spend Christmas at the residence of famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks.

Revel Horwood is probably best known as a judge on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing but his West End Theatre credits include Cats at the New London Theatre, Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and Crazy for You at the Prince Edward Theatre.
